I've built about a dozen instruments, including guitars, basses, mandolins, and a viola, not to mention the instruments I have repaired or modified. A few of the finished instruments are pictured below. I will post pictures of the rest if I find them.

The first instrument I ever built, shown here perhaps 20 years after the fact. Just a bolt-together partscaster with a tung oil finish, but it was enough for me to catch the fever. I sold it probably not long after taking this picture.

Pardon the clutter and the blurry shot. This is the first bass I built. Walnut top, mahogany body. The neck is a Warmoth. Sold to a gentleman in California, who as I understand it was quite pleased with it.

My first archtop. Mostly a learning experience. Was hard to play, with not much tone, but not too bad for a first effort.

Flattop mandolin, completed in 2013. Sapele sides and back, cedar top, maple fingerboard. Nice sounding and a good player, and last I heard, its new owner was pleased with it.

I think this is about the third archtop I made. Top is european spruce, I think. Sold to a friend who is quite happy with it. Built somewhere around 2009 or 2010 I think.

My first foray into violin family instruments, I built this viola for a friend's daughter who plays.

My second flattop. Alaskan cedar top, oregon flame myrtle sides and back, sapele neck. Fine sounding, but i ended up replacing the neck to improve playability. The first one was too thick for most players (though fine for me), and i mistakenly exposed the truss rod when thinning it.

The same guitar, post-neck replacement. I used walnut for the headstock overlay, instead of african blackwood, and carved the neck into a soft v profile.
